I think that was the idea. The DC was closer to Scott's original intentions,
but was still flawed in a number of ways. The FC fixes a number of things,
adds some footage here and there, some dialogue has been corrected, etc. IOW
the FC is really basically an improved DC.

BTW hi folks! I don't exactly post here often, but I'm a regular on
alt.fan.blade-runner.

The Arena special was great!

I only have the two disk Final Cut. The best part of this was the disk on
the making of the film. Philip.K.Dick's daughter's comments were especially
engaging.

What depressed me about the whole production was no one, including the
writers, understood or appreciated the book. Granted this is a difficult
book to read, but they could have tried harder, to my mind. Ridley Scott
isn't the most careful of directors either. It could have been a better
film. The book is still better.
